Summary
I’m joined by my childhood best friend Jessie — the one who’s seen me through every confusing situationship, career pivot, and major life change. We’re talking about how she went from friends to married with her high school crush, what it was like when the three of us lived together, and her take on the guys I used to date… versus what she thought when she met Jake. We also answer listener questions about being in different life stages than your friends, falling for a friend, and how to support someone through heartbreak.

| 0:35.5 | Yep. |
| 0:36.3 | With Turtle from Entourage. Truly. That actually sparked me to watch Entrash for the first time, which I did in COVID after that, which was a gorgeous experience. |
| 0:45.1 | It's the best. I want to rewatch it. I'm getting there. Like me and Jake thought about it the other day and we're like, we could be doing this. You're there. You're there. I watched it on a plane. It was really good. Have you guys finished loss. I'm on the last season. Okay. We're a few episodes away. |
| 0:58.7 | No, we have been on the last season for like a month and a half. |
| 1:01.3 | We can't. |
| 1:02.6 | It gets better. |
| 1:03.8 | There's a time where I'm like, I can't do the show. |
| 1:05.7 | It's insufferable and I understand how people in like 2008 were definitely, it was the |
| 1:10.5 | definition of the show that went downhill. |
| 1:12.7 | Yeah. |
| 1:13.7 | It's just not bingeable anymore. understand how people in like 2008 were definitely, it was the definition of the show that went |
| 1:11.6 | downhill. Yeah. It's just not bingeable anymore, but we're getting there. We're trying. Like we... |
| 1:18.0 | Blaze is so loyal. You know he's like... And so is Jake. And this is Jake's favorite show, but like, |
| 1:22.8 | well, we were so into it. We would watch like 10 episodes in a day. And we would like stay up because we needed to see what was going to happen next. And now we got to this last season. And Jake's seen it before. Does he remember what happens? Because Blazes was his favorite show in like elementary and middle. And he has no idea how it ends. And I'm like, I feel like it was a controversial ending. And I don't see a world where they can wrap this up nicely. |
| 1:46.0 | Yeah. And it's not satisfying. The thing is, I thought I would watch the whole thing. But I haven't known what's been going on for multiple seasons now. So I guess I am wrong. But no, Jake, Jake remembers how it ends. there's a lot of details that he like forgot about that are getting filled in. But now we're like cycling through every other show. And we're like, oh, like we have no new episodes to watch anything else. Like I guess we'll watch loss. And then we're like, no, let's watch Modern Family.
